CEL Closed – Saturday 13th May
Dear Members,
Apologies but our volunteer for today has had to cancel.
We have been unable to find a replacement at short notice and need to take the decision to close and send out mails about this now, in order to save you a wasted journey.
We will be open on Friday next week as usual, the next two Saturdays we still need volunteers for – if you are a trained desk volunteer please check your calendars.
For everyone else please keep your eye on the emails in case we can’t find anyone.
best regards,
The CEL Board
Help us choose our books
Why not try our new stock selection tool? You can vote for books other people have suggested – or suggest your own choices for purchase.
You do not need to create an account to select a book. Just put in your first and last name, a valid e-mail address and a dummy password.
Add the title of the book you wish to suggest for purchasing.
(Check our catalogue first to make sure we don’t already have a copy https://celstuttgart.de/books/online-catalogue/)
Add any additional description, author, ISBN etc.
In Tags you can let us know if it is a BB, PB, ER, JF, Teen or non-Fiction book.
If you want to you can attach the book cover image.
Before you can click Push you must answer the sum. In the example here the sum is 6-8 so you would enter -2.
We are looking forward to receiving your suggestions.
“Blind Date with a Book” Event for Adults – Friday 5th May 19:30
You’re Invited!
Open to all CEL members.
How “Blind Date with a Book” works:
-
Bring a book you’re ready to part with, but wrap it up so no one can tell what it is.
-
Include a few clues to give everyone a sense of what it is without unveiling the title, author, or cover.
-
At the event, everyone will select a book and go home with a new read!
Please RSVP to me via email blinddate@celstuttgart.de so we know how many people to expect. See you on May 5!
Alex
